A prism is a generic term which refers to a 3-dimensional object with two congruent faces which are joined together by a face or faces. A cylinder, for example, is a crystal. Furthermore, the shape of the cross section depends on the inclination of the slicing plane.
Answer 1A triangle. Answer 2For a triangular prism, the cross section is a triangle.
A prism
A triangular prism has a triangular cross-section. A rectangular prism has a rectangular cross-section.
When a plane slices through a square prism and the resulting cross-section is a square, it indicates that the plane is cutting parallel to the base of the prism. This maintains the dimensions of the square shape at that specific height within the prism. The orientation and position of the slice determine the size of the resulting square cross-section, but it will always remain a square as long as the plane is parallel to the prism's bases.
A rectangular prism has a rectangular cross section whereas a cylinder has a circular cross section
Answer 1A triangle. Answer 2For a triangular prism, the cross section is a triangle.
It is a triangle, and it will be the same all the way through the prism.
A prism
A triangular prism has a triangular cross-section. A rectangular prism has a rectangular cross-section.
just not to confuse you, here is the question more clearer: A prism has a cross section that is a regular hexagon The area of the cross section is 10.4m^2. The volume of the prism is 8.84m^2. Calculate the height of the prism.
A cylinder has a circular cross section, a rectangular prism has a rectangular cross section.
A rectangular prism has a rectangular cross section whereas a cylinder has a circular cross section
A cylinder has a circular cross section, a square prism has a square cross section.
The cross section can be a triangle, rectangle or a hexagon.
length = volume/cross-section
The cross section of a pyramid shrinks from the shape of the base down to a point as you move along its axis from the base to the apex. The cross section of a prism is constant along its axis.
The cross-section of a rectangular prism can be any one of:a pointa trianglea rectanglea hexagon.
